ROME (AP) – Italy’s No. 1 fugitive, convicted Mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro, was arrested on Monday at a private clinic in Palermo, Sicily, after 30 years on the run, Italian paramilitary police said.
Police have arrested 94 people during a massive dawn raid on the Sicilian Mafia, in connection to a scam in which the mob defrauded the European Union out of millions of euros in farm subsidies.
Italy’s anti-mafia taskforce revealed this week that foreign and internal mafias are investing considerable resources into the business of illegal immigration into Italy.
